Bad driving is business as usual

Is that all? This is what appears to be very common in Ramapo/Monsey/Wesley Hills: tailgating, speeding, ignoring full stop signage, no left/right turn, speeding through intersections while the traffic light is orange/red, texting, cellphone use, non-use of sidewalks where they exist, reading, unnecessary horn blowing and unattended children playing in parked vehicles.

What have I missed? Oh yes, failure to signal.

How can one expect a driver to be attentive while busy doing other things?

Suggestion: Make it mandatory for insurance renewal (every three years) to take an online safety course offered by many organizations for little cost. Very much worth the effort or pay a hefty surcharge.
